### Prerequisites

1. [node 11](https://nodejs.org/en/)

### Build

Before building the application, the web resources need to be built. Run the following to build the web resources:

```bash

$ cd web

$ npm ci

$ npm run build

```

### Launching

This application cannot be launched from the launcher. It can only be launched via an intent filter. So, if you try to share a url from any other application, this application should capture the accept the intent and attempt to play it in a background service.

You can use adb to simulate an intent needed to launch this application:

```bash

$ export URL="url_goes_here"

$ adb shell am start -n "com.jzallas.backdrop/.MainActivity" --es "android.intent.extra.TEXT" $URL

```
